         Re:      Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc.
                  Registration Statement on Form S-4

Gentlemen:

         We are counsel to Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc. (the "Company") and
have represented the Company in connection with the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 being filed by it today with the Commission (together with all exhibits
thereto, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement relates to an
offering (the "Exchange Offer") of $200 million principal amount of the
Company's registered 10 3/8% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "Registered Notes") in
exchange for the Company's presently outstanding, unregistered 10 3/8% Senior
Notes due 2009 (the "Unregistered Notes"). The Unregistered Notes were and the
Registered Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February
15, 2002 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the
Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee. The domestic subsidiaries of
the Company (the "Guarantors") are guaranteeing the Unregistered Notes and the
Registered Notes and their guarantees (the "Guarantees")are being registered
under the Registration Statement.

         This opinion is being delivered to the Commission as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement.

         We have examined (1) the Certificate of Incorporation, and all
amendments thereto, of the Company, certified by the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware; (2) the By-Laws of the Company, certified by the Secretary of
the Company as being those currently in effect; (3) the Registration Statement;
(4) the Indenture; and (5) such other corporate records, certificates, documents
and other instruments as in our opinion are necessary or appropriate in
connection with expressing the opinions set forth below.

         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

         1.       The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
                  existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         2.       When the Registered Notes shall have been issued in exchange
                  for Unregistered Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer
                  as provided in the Registration Statement, the Registered
                  Notes thus issued will be legally issued, fully paid and
                  non-assessable.

         3.       The Guarantees of the Registered Notes, when such Guarantees
                  are issued in accordance with the Indenture and the
                  Registration Statement, will be legally issued and legally
                  binding obligations of the Guarantors.

         This firm hereby consents to the reference to it under the heading
"Legal Matters" appearing in the Prospectus which is part of the Registration
Statement.


                                        Sincerely,



                                        Foley & Lardner
